The American Cultivator of Nov. 18th
says that the total exports of apples from
the United States and Canada for the week
ending Nov. 9TH. 1887. were 81 $40 barrels,

of last year, showing decrease in
exports this year of 81 500 barrels. Prices

though about this time last year there
was an advance of Liverpool prices, aud
each succeeding week showed Il steady
advance until the eud of the season. At
this date last year the market was nearly

to be steady for good fruit at full values.

he lit it, and unhesitatngiy let himself
down to the further depth The moving
flash OF his light revealed the recesses of
the upper hold, the abyss of the well

backs of moving zigzass of rats that
seemed to outline tine shadowy beams and
transoms. Disregarding those curious

which they can come out at will, but see
that it is closed every night, and you will
soon notice how much healthier your hens
are, and how much better they will lay,
than when kept closely confined in small
quarters.

THE democrats Of Indiana have
given evidence Of their faithfulncss
to their party policy in emergencies
by keeping Lieutenant Governor
Robinson out of his seat as president
of the senate. The act was taken
without pretense ofexcuse and with
out provocation further than their
desire to usurp position to which
they had no valid claim, whatever.
The lieutenant governor, duly elect
ed, attempted to take his seat, when
the way was blocked by stolid
democrat, who would not allow him
to proceed and would not offer any
excuse why he should not take the
position assigned him by the sui
TRACE of the people. 1t is the most
palpable and overt act of political
usurpation that has ever been COM
mitted in the North. Turpie goes
to the United States senate from
Indiana, in garments stained with
fraudulent election, and his cleo
ton will be contested before he takes
his seat in that body, but the stigma
that attaches to his maneuvering is
not to be compared with the open
and defiant attitude of his party in
defeating the will of the people by
keeping Robinson out of the chair
as presiding officer of the senate.
The democratic party of Indiana is
a fitting annex to the party OF the
South, and so far as it dares to pro-
coed, employs the same methods
that invariably return I53 electoral
votes from the Solid South and
keep the minor offices within the
control and management of the we'll
known and we'll tried party leaders.
We do not think, however, that
the intelligence of the Indiana COM
monwealth will long submit to such
methods, by endorsing the practicing
party. The sense of the people will
find expression in succeeding cleo
tons, and will decidedly pronounce
in favor of party that believes in a
fair ballot, an honest count, and a
submission to, and abiding faith in
the will of the people as expressed
at the polls.
